maingoal:
Exploiting Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM) in the RAN to increase bandwidth provision for massive MIMO in Ka-band. BlueSpace aims to design the next generation optical access networks infrastructures with massive beam steering capabilities, building a reconfigurable infrastructure controlled by SDN and NFV tools and integarted with Passive Optical Networks (PONs).
nextworks role:
Design architecture and interfaces of the SDN controller for SDM technologies and extend NFV MANO tools for provisioning of multi-tenant network slices.
